Bridge View Towers is a hard sell. The only advantage to the building is that it is close to Manhattan but there are so many properties close to Manhattan or even in Manhattan that are being sold at the same price. This area is not good for people who either have a family or who are planning to have a family. There is no shopping in the area. Polution and bumper to bumper traffic with

As a Corcoran broker who has taken over many faultering listings and developments, what probably happened was Elliman told the seller\developer their property is actually worth more than what its being marketed for and that the current lack of sales are a results of poor marketing efforts from Halstead.<br /><br />In this case, it might actually be true but time will tell. Additionally, there is

My bet is that Halstead offered a discount in commission for the deal, and it couldnt sell. <BR/><BR/>So, they go to Elliman who refuses to discount their full service commission. So, developer ups price to carry the new sell side cost increase.

Its genius broker logic.<BR/><BR/>"We lowered prices by 20%, and sold even fewer, so lets try upping by 20%".<BR/><BR/>Hey, not being able to sell your crappy apartments in a glut at 20% higher doesn't cost you any more than not being able to sell your crappy apartments in a glut at 20% lower.

Rich people in Manhattan would RATHER pay more for any apartment. It reflects their money. Rich people HAVE to show that they have money. "Sales and discounts are for the common people"
